Caster Semenya made a winning reutrn to the athletics track after a 11-month absence when she claimed victory in an 800m event in Finland. While her time of 2:04.22 was considerably slower than the 1:55.45 she set last year, the 19-year old has taken the first step on the path she hopes will lead her to the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi in October.

Semenya was cleared to compete as a female by the IAAF less than two weeks ago after questions were raised about her gender at the world championships in Berlin last year.

Gert-Peter Bruggerman, the German university professor tasked by the IAAF with investigating whether Oscar Pistorious gains any advantage on his rivals by using his prosthetic limbs, has revealed that he has a considerable advantage over his sprinting rivals.
